Wurrin (Year 8 & 9) News 

Market Day

On Thursday the 14th of November, students from the Year 11 Business Management and Year 9 Enterprising People classes hosted a market day throughout lunch time. Students ran a number of stalls selling items such as sausages, milkshakes, lolly bags and icy poles and performed activities such as doughnut on a string and “guess how many in a jar?”. The products and activities were hugely popular, and almost $400 was raised for Love Your Sister charity!

For students, this provided a great opportunity to gain experience within a controlled business environment and enabled them to display the skills they have learnt throughout the year.

We would like to congratulate Jack Rogers for his win of the jar of M&M’s totaling 1115. Hopefully he brushes his teeth!

It was a great outcome for the students and the prize winners and we would like to thank everybody for attending.

2019 Energy Breakthrough Trip 

On the Thursday last week the Energy Breakthrough team departed Bairnsdale Secondary College at 7:00am to arrive at Marybourough at 1:00pm and set up camp. The next few days everybody got ready for the race we had to do our presentation for 2 judges and also scrutineering  to make sure our HPV's (human powered vehicle) were race ready. Then on Friday night 4 riders from each team, two girls and two boys did time trials to see where we would start on the track. The next day the race commenced at 1:00pm not finishing until the next day at 1:00pm. The riders for Roadrunner were Will Anderson , Maegan Sherritt, Dylan Capobianco , Cooper Shaw, Macey Wust , Talia Dudley, Charlotte Breukel, Jack Mayes, Hendrick Eveleigh and Marty Crawford. For Tweety bird there was Kendall Hardess, Jazelle Rogers , Wren Walker , Ty Taylor, Rhyan Bailey , Connor McGivern , Jayden White and Casey Hoxley . Thank you to all the teachers who gave up their time, Mr. Bowcher, Mr. Rubenstein, Miss V, Jess and Paul who helped us weld a bike back together at 2:00am. We finished the race having travelled 1,250km and placing 68th out of 120 HPV's.  Our vehicles had lots of crashes and scratches, it was a great time. Some memorable events of the trip were Rhyan and Ty shaving their hair, Ty's mishap with a drill and Connor missing a swan in the middle of the track.
